    Cold maceration of tobacco

    I wouldn't pack it. Give it a day and see if the tobacco is just barely covered. It takes a little experimentation to work it all out.

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    That sounds a little weak Paul. I usually use a full ounce in a half pint. It's not a problem but your extract will be a bit weaker and you'll have to use more to make juice.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    It's pretty cool when you extract a blend that approximates one of your vendor favorites. One of my latest was an effort to get close to Clay's Fire Cured Burley. Didn't get an exact match but close. Mine is drier and devoid of sweetness but man is it smokey! The description of the tobacco...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Dusty, I am happy with the flavor I get after triple filtering. Bill triple filters and only uses 13% extract ( I use a little more) with most tobaccos so I'd call that flavor full.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I triple filter everything. Since I started using lab filter paper, the gunk I get burns to a very small amount of fine white ash. I get none of the big, thick gunk that bubbles up when dry burning like with some of the real gunkers.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I agree with boomer and will put up with gunkiness to a degree if the flavor is worth it. However, since I have been able to make NETs that are reasonably clean and flavorful myself, my gunk tolerance is dwindling. I vape a Reo whenever I'm out of the house and want a juice in it that I can...

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    If they call it pipe tobacco, they avoid a bunch of regulation and taxation. Makes sense to me. ETA: And it can be smoked in a pipe anyway, or in our case drowned in PG!:)

    The REO Lounge - Part IV

    Dennis, a few drops of that skunk scent would likely render your entire building uninhabitable at least temporarily. Not a good idea. On the other hand, it would motivate you to move to new digs!:laugh:

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    The Daughters and Ryan tobaccos I mentioned previously, among others, are labeled as pipe tobacco to get around that problem. Many tobaccos that are primarily RYO are sold in bags and some in the small tins. Perfectly legal.

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    That's one reason I order primarily from the internet. Pipes and cigars dot com 1 oz. bulk buys are shipped in a nicely labeled baggie. They carry many other tobaccos in 1.5 to 2 oz tins for a little more coin.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    I'd assume Don knows exactly what is in his juices, but feels that info is proprietary. His prerogative. I prefer more transparent vendors and therefore have little BWB experience.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Mr. Mann had a conversation with Don at BWB (phone or email, I don't remember) and Don said if he told MR. Mann what was in his tobaccos he would have to kill him if I remember correctly. Not exactly a confidence inspiring answer.

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    I checked out a local smoke shop in a mall recently and found a wonderful selection of cigars that I had no idea they had. Will be extracting a couple soon. Good luck.

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    Hi Paul. I have not extracted any cigarette tobacco but others seem happy with American Spirit, Nat Sherman, and other all natural RYO tobaccos. Pipes and cigars dot com carries Daughters and Ryan RYO tobaccos which look interesting.

    sintered glass filters....or your best filtration systems

    I hear ya. Pretty frugal myself and I like things uncomplicated, no drama. Makes the cold soak method perfect for me. Submerge tobacco in PG and wait, about as easy as it gets.

    sintered glass filters....or your best filtration systems

    Paul, that strainer should work fine for removing the bulk tobacco. I use a cheap mesh strainer from Walmart.

    2nd attempt at NET. Success!

    Congrats Jorge! It's pretty satisfying when you make a juice you really enjoy.:)

    The REO Lounge - Part IV

    T, I'd love to have a beer with you if I still drank! Maybe a coffee. It's easy to be antisocial anymore and even the most persistent Jehovah's witnesses and Baptists start to get the hint when you always disrobe before opening the door for them!

    The REO Lounge - Part IV

    Wayne is nicer than I am. I'd let him know that if he even thought of behaving that way around my family again that I would put him on a hospital food diet for a month.
